Sophomore Coed Displays
Air Line Insignia Collection
A collection of air line in
signias by University sophomore
Joan Franke is now on display
in the front windows of the
Continental National bank. 12th
and O streets.
Two-thirds of the collection,
which totals 275 insignias, is be
ing shown in the bank windows
The other third is on display in
the Omaha Public Library.
The insignias represent every
operating passenger air line in
the world. Many of them are
very rare, and according to
friends of Miss Franke, the col
lection has a priceless value.
One particular insignia brought
a buying offer of ?500. Though
the collection has not been evalu
ated, a similar one was valued
at $1,500 in the Chicago Hobby
show of 1949.
Began in 1947
Miss Franke's collection began
in 1947 when a friend gave her a
few stickers as souvenirs. This
prompted her to begin collecting
them as a hobby. The present
collection was formed through
writing to air line companies,
and to collectors who had the
same hobby. About a dozen peo
ple in different parts of the
world collect air line insignias.
Many of the air lines whose
insignias are included in the col
lection have consolidated or dis
continued operation, thus increas
ing the value of the insignias.
The most valuable one in Miss
Franke's collection is the red and
silver of TWA, wi&i the name
"Lindbergh Line" on it.
Most Colorful
Among the most colorful are
the "Malayans Line;" the Sa
bena Belgium Air Lines" to the
Congo with their savage dress
marking, and the "Teal Line" of
